general 1:
Yes, the volume control background requires a restart of X.
I just checked the desktop-icon changer, after making a selection a window comes up telling you that you have to restart X to see the new icons.

Pavilion 2:
I'm running alpha6 right now. I just typed:
# modprobe -vn bcm43xx
and it found bcm43xx and all it's dependencies. So they are there.

There must be some hardware problem that has prevented Puppy from finding the 'zdrv' file. It's on the CD and is normally findable. Also, when you create a pup_save file you have the recommended option of copying the pup_396.sfs and zdrv_396.sfs files off the CD to the same place as the pup_save file, which makes them easier and faster to access._________________http://bkhome.org/news/

The new dark theme is very similar to Vista IV in Ezpup. Very nice indeed . . .

At the moment having problems with xine

The below graphic shows after an image is played once (set to loop with the -l paramenter)

An AVI file that was playing OK in the previous Alpha would not play at all

wasn't mplayer in one of the early alphas or did I dream that?

Tui & Lob : please resize your pictures. There was a thread describing the requirements for sizing displays, including treatment of long links, recently. It was considered easy. Folks followed the advice for about a day. Now, world+dog ignores same. Let's hope John's new coterie of moderators can police this vital Forum etiquette more effectively.

For the first time with any Puppy Linux version, including several Dingos, my BCM43xx module was not automatically loaded.

When I loaded it manually, it didn't find any network and didn't create eth1, which all other puppy versions have done.

Interestingly, I tried loading the BCM43 module, which did load and did create a wlan0 listing, but scan didn't find a network.

I played with Autoprobe, which suggested I try a bunch of modules, none of which got anything but "no new interfaces were detected" It seemed to be willing to load one module after another, forever. I tried 3c589_cs, airo_cs, atmel_cs, axnet_cs, fmvj18x_cs, hostap_cs, libertas_cs, netwave_cs, nmmlan_cs, orrinoco_cs, ray_cs, smc91c92_cs, spectrum_cs when I got tired of that game!

I didn't see any problems otherwise.

When I finished this testing, I went back to a version of 3.01 puppy and my wireless worked perfectly, as usual.

I second that.
People can still have 15" displays as I have and it's a pain to read the thread then._________________Time savers:

Please be careful, if you have tested the other alpha6 and created a pup_save or done a frugal install, that any pup_396.sfs and zdrv_396.sfs are removed from the hard drive. This is extremely important, otherwise tthis build with a different kernel won't work._________________http://bkhome.org/news/

perhaps i am not qualified to even make comments on something so over my head as trying to troubleshooting code but i just want to make the following comments so you may know there is something that is not working on my unit.

feel free to tell me to cease and desist if you can do better without my "help".

upon booting,alpha6 gave me a lot of trouble with xorg and i had to set up xvesa.

one of the first things i need to do with the system,i to go into jwm configuration and i change the mouse to be used as a left hand mouse,and the keyboard to us.

i cannot get into jwm at all. it will not open. i see a flash like it is opening and it closes immediately.

i do not think the correct drivers for the sis card is included for this motherboard.

i hesitate on screwing up another computer as i do not know of any way to shut a system down and not save the session. if i could just boot, look around and shut down without saving (and thus not saving the bad things)
that would be nice.
anyway, at this time this input is only for the d201gly2.
